Chapter 3 Vacation Training 01
Bestialized man
After a full afternoon of actual combat training, Leach returned to the dormitory satisfied.
At this time, the happy encounter was already covered in bruises, but fortunately, in order to avoid accidents, he usually prepared a "treatment for minor injuries", and when he arrived at the dormitory, there was nothing abnormal except that there was a little more soil on his body.
"Alas, alas, this time you're angry, I've explained that I'm purely relying on you to keep fighting for so long. 」
Besides, I've never seen a druid like you who can't fight, you're the kind of law?"
Druids are a versatile profession that can fight, resist, assist, summon, and cast spells, but the potential of the all-rounder means that the average druid must give up to specialize in one or two abilities, and the result of half-heartedness is that he can't do anything well.
"No, I can't fight because I'm not trained at all, and ordinary people on Earth don't need to fight. But I really didn't specialize in combat. Me...... I've learned a lot about biology on Earth, so maybe I can try to become a biologist who specializes in improving plants?"
The productivity of this other world is relatively low, and if the hybrid rice and wheat are successful, at least it will be fame and fortune, and you will not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation until you die.
"No, you know that's not what I'm talking about. As a traveling scholar, you often need to go out, so you must also be proficient in combat. I wanted to ask you about your position in combat, for example, I'm a specialized marksman. Your words...... It's supposed to be a madness, right?"
Leach was convinced of the extremely thin Xixiangyu that he should belong to the crazy rank at the front row of the battle, and if it weren't for the Xixiangyu knowing that he had no malicious intentions, there would definitely be a conflict between the roommates.
"Hah...... Why do you know about me, obviously I have only changed once in front of Heras so far, and once in front of some of my classmates, and it seems that most people know that I am a beast. 」
This kind of feeling that I obviously kept the secret but found out for a while and found out that the secret was announced to the world was really unhappy, and I was wondering when I was exposed.
"They promised me that they would never say it. 」
As a result, when he said the question in his heart, Leach showed a "Are you kidding me?" expression.
Well, Leach has already said it.
"You're kidding me, aren't you? Bestials are very common, so it's strange if you can't see them. Besides, even if I don't see it, I'm in the same dormitory as you. ”
"Is there anything between the two?"
"I live in the same dormitory as you, and if no one tells me you're a beast, it's basically no different from murder!
"You make so much sense that I can't argue with it...... But as a mixed race who is also unwelcome, is it really okay for you to say that?"
This precaution against happy encounters made him uncomfortable, as if he was the only one in a group of people who was an outlier, especially when it was a half-elf who was also half-blood.
"Don't make a fuss, you're a little self-conscious. Unlike me, a half-elf who is a hybrid of humans and elves, you are a natural beast like you as a humanoid creature cursed by bestiality, not a half-blood. This curse will cause the cursed humanoid creature to gain power and gradually transform its mind like a beast, and even a beast who can maintain his sanity will still retain the beast-like urge to prey. Therefore, even if there has not been a major event like the Great Purge of Beasts by the Ancient Silver Flame Church for a long time, it has long been proved that the beast race is not inherently evil, but most sane people will still maintain a certain vigilance and distance from beasts. ”
"But I don't have any predatory urges, how could I be a human being. 」
Intuition tells him that the so-called predatory impulse has nothing to do with him, not now, and not in the future.
"After all, Earth's bestials aren't the same as yours. First of all, my bite doesn't spread a curse and turn others into bestials......
"Wait," Leach spotted the problem, "how did you know about this?"
"Oh, there are a lot of kitchen knife classmates and seniors who paid me to bite them. 」
Although the people who can come to this academy at least have some understanding of beasts, and of course know the potential threat of being transformed into beasts, the temptation of being able to obtain superhuman physical abilities can still make many people gamble.
"Those people are all mentally retarded! I don't believe that a group of kitchen knives have enough willpower to resist the negative effects of bestiality! ”
"Listen to me, once I know a little bit about beasts, I haven't charged to bite people again. But in fact, none of the dozens of kitchen knives I have bitten have been cursed, and if it weren't for the fact that there are many authoritative people who prove that I am a natural beast, I am afraid that I will not be falsely accused of being a liar and being called by them to collect debts. 」
Although Xi Xiangyu was a talent who was brought to the school by his mentor, Heras only exempted him from tuition, in fact, the money for food, clothing, housing and transportation was earned by Xi Xiangyu himself - at that time, his classmates and seniors lined up to pay for Xi Xiangyu to bite him, and he earned a total of more than 400 gold coins.
"Your focus seems a little wrong...... Forget it, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you are a natural beast who does not have the ability to spread curses?" Leach paused, "That's not right, it should be said that you didn't become a beast because of the beast curse. But this is plausible but even more incredible, the idea that beasts appeared because of the curse of the ancient fallen gods, is common knowledge in Colandia. What about your earth?"
「......」
"There are legends of werewolves and the like, and they are also infected by biting. 」
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, what's going on with the extracurricular practice I talked about before, can you also get credits?"
Although Leach felt that the transition of joy was a bit stiff, it was presumably that he did not want to go any further, and out of respect Leach decided to end the topic like this.
"Oh, extracurricular practice is to give students who are not good at written exams the opportunity to prove their practical ability. Each holiday tutor will give a number of tasks that are suitable for the students to complete, and the students must submit the report to the class teacher before the end of the vacation. Depending on the completion of the task, the tutor will give the student an appropriate score. So although making up classes at school during the holidays is also an option, you should understand if you were a student before. ”
"Even if you come back from the holidays to retake the exam, there is still a high chance that you will be disappointed. 」
"That's right, so I decided to participate in extracurricular practice, come together? Going out and walking a lot will help you understand the world a lot, and the two of us happen to be the most compatible professions, and we will definitely be able to play a complementary role. ”
"Of course, what's the point of staying at school after the holidays, you should go out for a walk during the holidays. 」
In this way, the druids and rangers, who are also field professions, form a team, determined to make up enough credits to rank in the top 100/first in their grade this holiday, but accidentally roll up a storm that they can't handle at all.
